Feasibility and safety of using a novel traction wire for endoscopic submucosal dissection of challenging gastrointestinal neoplasia.

Abstract

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an en bloc resection technique for gastrointestinal neoplasia but is associated with high risk of complications [1]. The ProdiGI traction wire (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) is a novel device for improving the safety of ESD.
